I think it loads slowly, scrolling down to start it is awkward and clunky, the first bullet for scrolling takes too much scrolling before it's responsive (maybe your scrolling sensitivity is greater than mine, so for you it's reasonable, but for someone with a more "default" scroll speed it doesn't work well), the text at the top is so small it's easy to miss, the pictures themselves don't speak for themselves. Every time I see a picture I should say "oof", but I have to read the text to have any emotional response (and emotional response is the purpose of this).

The wealth over time chart, which is the culmination of your presentation doesn't clearly show the disparity, maybe a stacked graph would be better? The way you choose to display it hides the emotional impact.

The numbers on the last graph showed up poorly until I scrolled all the way to the end.

Overall it needs a lot more work. Sorry if this is too direct. I actually think your goal is a good one.




Yeah I did struggle with the scrolling, but can work on it. For the data load, it has to generate all the vizs and particles before it shows. I can clean up the dataset to make it smaller and that should help.
